This is a port of Thomas Luft's Ivy Generator to Carrara. It supports Carrara 7 and 8, including 64-bit.
This is a Scene Command plug-in that grows an ivy-like plant on an object. The ZIP file includes shaders to apply to the ivy.
This plugin is released under the GNU GPL 2.0. Source code is included in the ZIP file.
Update: I have added the ability to save/load the settings from the initial dialog.
Update 2/25 - added direct-to-vertex generation, it is no longer necessary to convert to vertex after the generator runs. It is also a little faster.
Update 3/27 - fixed UV mapping issue.
Update 5/1 - fixed Macintosh issue.
Update 5/2 - fixed bug in Thomas Luft's code to make the leaves point "down" instead of up.
Update 7/3 - Another in the ongoing attempts to make the Mac version work properly. Changed the normal and UV calculations. « Less

Great plugin. Is it possible to save the values inserted in the dialog box (actually they are lost/resetted to default, closing the window)? It would help a lot when experimenting different parameters to grow an ivy. Thx again.
